Omega drivers are out!!!

http://www.omegacorner.com/

I have the latest Catalyst drivers. Can anyone tell me what's better (or
worse) about the Omega drivers? Are they stable?

As stable as the ATI ones, the driver behind them is to
increase graphics quality in games & they usually include the
softmods that work with some of the cards.

Some people like them some people don't, some people find
they work better for their rig than the official, some people
don't.

Best bet is to try them for yourself and see which works for
you.

They are tweaked for gamers not bench

They are slower (for me) than the old ones. However, I seem to spot
that the image quality is better, maybe I'm getting old and the
eyesight's failing. Both versions are more stable than those before.

Certain test done claim that they are slightly faster even, but yes
it's more about the eye candy then the speed of the drivers!

don't expect to use them for 9x versions any longer.....

Well the guy behind them does state they are aimed at upping
game image quality, and he also states don't bother using them
with benching programs such as 3dmark if your after a high
score.

I've just removed the new Omega driver and re-installed the ATI one. My
system froze twice this evening - when it's normally rock solid. I didn't
notice any improvement in the visuals or the speed so there seemed little
point in keeping the Omega driver. But it appears to have removed itself
without problems.

I have the Radeon 9700 Pro and the difference I found between the ATI
4.1 and the Omega driver is that my CPU Barton 3200+ under full load
is about 10C cooler with the Omega driver. Can anyone explain that?
